  1. the above mentioned book Bewilderment by #RichardPowers is a GEM.

    [i don't read [cis] male authors but bc of a very good reason - and for Powers the many reasons are be-au-ti-ful writing prose, excellent techie stuff, all the best and current nature as well as climate blisses - AND horrors!], marvelous info bits about astro and space science AND [!] genious capture of [male] emotions.]

    Also very much loved his book before this one, The Overstory.

    Lyrics (excerpt)

    " People moving out, people moving in
    Why? Because of the color of their skin
    Run, run, run but you sure can't hide
    An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
    Vote for me and I'll set you free

    Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
    Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation

    The sale of pills are at an all time high
    Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
    The cities aflame in the summer time
    And oh, the beat goes on

    Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
    Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
    Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
    And the band played on

    Suicide, too many bills, hippies moving to the hills
    People all over the world are shouting, "End the war."
    And the band played on...."

  8. I finished #Butter by Asako Yuzuki which I enjoyed very much. I’ve just started #Playground by Richard Powers. I’ve really been excited about this one. I made sure I’ve read nothing about it but I’m happy to go wherever he takes me. I loved both #Overstory and #Bewilderment so much. #Overstory has really stayed with me. It’s one of the few books I’d read again.

  9. Now I know millions of my fellow Americans choose hatred over compassion.

    Hard to explain my feelings right now because I'm overwhelmed trying to figure out what to say to my daughters who have been rightfully terrified of this possible outcome.

    We, as a nation have failed them and so many others.
